Caught me a bus early today

Hours before my dinner time

Packed my case on the early shift
       Eb              Bb/D
And I left this shack behind
             F         Bb/F    F
Oh I said I left this shack behind

You may think I done wrong

The police may think so too
         F			C
But I'm sick and tired of this crumbling life
           Eb                Bb/D
I said I'm doing what I gotta do
                F            Bb/F   F
Lord I said I'm doing what I gotta do

All the way down to El Paso

Singin' all the way down, all the way down to El Pa  a  so

People there, so I've been told

Treat you like a man
F			     C
Who don't creep 'round your house at night

Lord I said all along the highway
